* Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God. * It's good to suffer loss. It draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves.

Abraham Lincoln's very unhappy marriage

Lincolns
Some excerpts from The Slow Fires of Misery:

  • Lincoln’s marriage was a mess, and accepting the pain brought deep strength in the long run.
  • It was a pain-filled marriage. The familiar lines in his face and the somber countenance reveal more than the stress of civil war. But the two stayed married. They kept at least that part of their vows.
